The Malsfeld Station was an intersection and Tower Station and is still a breakpoint on the railway line Bebra-Baunatal-Guntershausen .
history
When the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Nordbahn opened on August 29, 1848 between Kassel and Bebra , Malsfeld was still without a stop. The station was only built when the junction with the cannon train was built here . On May 15, 1879, the station was opened together with the Niederhone – Treysa section of the Kanonenbahn. The two lines were connected by two curves, which branched off from the Bebra – Kassel line from the north and south, coming from the west, and joined the Kanonenbahn. The station itself was laid out as a tower station , with the Bebra – Kassel line on the lower level and the cannon track on the upper level.
In 1910/1911 the facilities were upgraded: the lower platform was given an underpass to the station forecourt , the stairs to the upper platform were redesigned and a luggage lift was installed.
The eastern branch of the Kanonenbahn from Malsfeld, which was last in operation as far as Spangenberg , was shut down in 1986, the western branch to Oberbeisheim in 1988 . The station facilities on the Bebra – Kassel line were built back to a stopping point.
building
The station building was completed in 1879. It lies south of the former route of the cannon railway and west of the tracks of the Bebra – Kassel railway line. It is a type building ( half-timbered ) filled with masonry bricks . The building is a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act . Today it is in private hands and is used as a residential building.
There was also a three-tier locomotive shed , which burned down in 1975, and its own signal box .
